Tapes are used primarily as an indicator and spacer between glass tapered joints. They endure high temperatures and will not adhere to the glass. Available with or without adhesive.
Applications:
- Thread sealant tape or form-in-place large diameter gaskets
- Threaded joints
- Form-in-place gaskets
- Large diameter flanges
